50s Gibson Country Westerns are some of the coolest acoustic guitars out on the market, and this example lives up to the hype. Simply put, it sounds and plays incredible. It has the worn-in warm tone that pickers and songwriters alike seek in a vintage Gibson, with perfect playability. It has had several modifications and repairs, fully noted in the Spec tab, but most notable are several significant crack repairs on its back, which appear to have been cleated. The LR Baggs Anthem was added for live performance and this involved applying a velcro strip to the back for the 9V battery holder. This workhorse is now ready for its next owner to keep its troubadour trail ablaze.

Includes modern Road Runner hard shell case.
